Yodo Sensei and Small-Time Bullying

L5R CCG Rules board, 6 May 2015 to 8 May 2015

A topic from AEG's L5R CCG Rules forum, copied for Oracle of the Void from a copy of the forum saved in October 2015, so pages it didn't save are missing. Players' names are left out; the rules officials are named. Rulings are as they stood on these dates; later rulings, the rulebooks and the Rules Archive may differ.

Howdy Rules Team! Thanks for being awesome!

Quick Question:

If I have Yodo Sensei and purchase Small-time Bully, which dishonors an enemy personality, do I gain 1 honor?

Cheers!

Small-Time Bully: After you Recruit this Holding, if you control a Courtier or Magistrate, you may dishonor a Personality.

Yodo Sensei: After your action dishonors another player's Personality, gain 1 Honor.

I feel like I should warn you for editorializing, but thanks for the compliment

Small-Time Bully's dishonoring comes from a trait, not an action. Therefore it will not trigger Yodo Sensei (yes, this disappointed me too)
